Doing a release of an application using maven-scm will create an error when executing the tests for the maven-scm-api When it did the checkout the source was placed into the foo/target/foo-1.0/maven-scm-api directory and the test cases where executed...this resulted in an error in the ScmFileSetTest which appeared to come from the test case using /target/ in an execludes and a file not being removed or something... perhaps because of the directory path looking like /home/user/src/foo-trunk/target/foo-1.0/maven-scm-api/target/foo we need to make sure that /target/ is treated right when there are two "target" tokens in the path
